THE CHOWAN HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2019 B3 PHOTO COURTESY K. ALLAN BLUME Camp Cale dedicated its first year-round housing facil ity earlier this year. The camp hopes to raises funds to construct a similar building in time for the 2020 sum mer camping season. Camp Cale seeking funds for bunkhouse Needs to raise $30,000 by Nov. 26 for match By PETER WILLIAMS Perquimans Weekly PERQUIMANS COUNTY — Camp Cale is taking a leap of faith to raise enough money now to start con struction on a second mod em bunkhouse so it will be ready in time for next sum mer. The camp, which is owned by the Chowan Bap tist Association, doesn’t have the full $629,000 it will take to build the facility, but it does have some funds in a capital account If Cale can raise another $30,000 by Nov. 26, the asso ciation will match it with $50,000. “The $80,000 will get us to 41 percent,” Camp Director Matt Thomas said. The association repre sents 68 churches in north- eastern North Carolina Camp Cale was founded in the early 1960s on the banks of the Perquimans River. At the time, the open air bunkhouses were con sidered normal for a sum mer camp. But today, the luxuries of air conditioning are expected, something the old cabins don’t have. The first new bunkhouse was opened last summer. “The kids loved it, and the parents felt better too be cause it’s totally enclosed and it was their kids in there,” Thomas said. Last summer the bunkhouse was booked up every week and the others were full and then it started to slack off. When we got into the hotter months to ward the end of July, we saw attendance dip in the older cabins,” he said “If we don’t build a sec ond bunkhouse, I fear we will start losing campers,” he said So even though Cale had the capacity to sleep an other 48 people, attendance for 2019 — about 435 — was about the same as it was in 2018. The modern bunkhouse can also be used year-round In addition to summer camps, they can be used in the fall, winter and spring for retreats and other func tions. And that is just what hap pened since the first new bunkhouse was opened last summer. Checks can be mailed to 377 Camp Cale Road, Hert ford, NC 27944. Include the words “Capital Campaign” in the memo line. Gifts are tax deductible. Thomas said he hopes to have a master plan in a few months that will map out the future for Cale. After the second bunkhouse, he said the next step may be to replace Jackson Hall, the dining facility that was built when Cale first got started. “It’s really tiny and pretty rustic,” he said ACES Continued from Bl points to scoreboard. Ex tra point was blocked, but look at the score — Aces were up 27-0 with 3:15 left in the first quarter. On Gates’ next drive — aided by two Aces penal ties — Red Barons mounted some offense as they drove from their own 20-yard line and scored five yards out at the 9:53 mark of the second quarter. Gates touchdown only fired up the Aces’ resolve for the next four plays. Al most like shifting gears in a red Ferrari, Mijonta Stan ley punched the clutch, dropped it into second gear for a 19-yard run — three yards out to score a touchdown. Aces’ Ryan White kicks the extra point to put the score at 34-6. Gates again went on a long, time-consuming drive, taking possession of the ball at the 8:40 mark of the second quarter. After 20 plays and the clock un der a minute, they turned the ball back over to the Aces, after few plays it FRIEDMAN Continued from Bl want to lie to the young man. For anyone that has ever played competitive sports, particularly football, you know I’m right. I am more than a dozen years re moved from my last foot ball game, but I was still filled with envy watching these young men attempt to impose their will on the person lined up across from them. I watch football on tele vision and in person and find myself living vicari ously through those play ing the game. The sound and smell of football still was halftime — Red Barons saved by the bell. Edenton’s juggernaut keeps rolling through virtu ally unchecked in the sec ond half. Aces score again with Malachi White run ning in a 25-yard touch- down to put the score at 41-6 with 4:14 left in the third quarter. Mere minutes later, Aces put six more points on the scoreboard with a Hoggard pass to Downing close to the endzone to put the score at 47-6. Gates County scores on a 9-yard run in the 4th quarter to make the score 47-12 with 6:47 left in the game. Aces’ Fred Drew returns a kickoff—79 yards — for a touchdown and the extra point from Ryan White is good — 54-12 — clock starts running a bit faster starting near the 6 minute mark in the third quarter. The Aces will host Man teo (8-1, 3-0 AAC) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1. Both teams are tied for first in the conference with a 3-0 record, but the Aces have not lost a game this season. brings with it a flood of memories and a desire to strap up and play despite having knees, a back and shoulder that laugh at the thought. I knew the next day would be worse as it fully hit my nephew that his football career was likely done. If there is a silver lin ing in it for him, it’s that the memories bf his playing days will get better. If he is like any other player I know, so will the stories of how well he played. One thing is for certain, you can believe this uncle will back up his story. David Friedman is a long time sports writer and lifelong fan.
